How many of you sweaty nerds actually been to Afghanistan?

I found the Afghans to be hopelessly corrupt, lazy, and unwilling to go on missions with us to fight the Taliban. One mission, they ran back to base and left us in the shit by ourselves to fight the Taliban.

The country is tribal, where warlords have the power. It's been that way for a long time. To install a Madisonian Democracy in this country is a fool's errand.

Watching the Taliban roll up the whole fucking country in two weeks is a damning indictment of Bush doctrine of "spreading freedom and democracy" around the world. It's also goes to show that our government has been swindled by the Military Industrial Complex and lying General Officers who for years been telling Congress that we have been making progress in Afghanistan.

I don't agree with Biden on anything, but kudos to him for ending this shit show.

The Afghans deserve the Taliban.

so we should let the afgans die...

and the grandmas...

wtf is wrong with these people lol its so obvious which side satan is on lol

(btw "these people" are followers of the BEAST those that have taken the MARK worshiping borders politics and men.)

That is to say, the reason why the Obama administration AND the Trump administration AND NOW the Biden administration promoted/are promoting the incense of racism as the central struggle of "America" is precisely because of the threat they foresaw in populist uprisings following the economic recession of 2008/09.

They need Americans divided along lines of Race: NOT class to blind them from establishing concensus on the nature of our ruling elite. Occupy was an existential threat; promoting racial animosity toward poor and middle class whites while reaping the benefits of Jewish Privilege is not; because Jewish Privilege is protected under racial heirarchies due to the Origin Myth of WW2.

It's like "Tax the Rich!" (But not the predominately Jewish Rich, or any other minority wealth; specifically Tax just the White Rich!!!" Amirite, Amorite?

When I say leftist ideology (intersectionality) is product of Postmodernism (Marxism) and specifically call out Foucault and Derrida as marquise progenators of this thought, to which Horza replies by posting comedy ab absurdum with JP, it's denying this connection.

Yet when you search for postmodern Marxism in Google the top responses to the query ARE Derrida and Foucault, who pioneered "systems of oppression" as their central thesis.

What makes it Marxist though? Seizure of the narrative ("means") from hierarchical control? Outcomes are really irrelevant if you're comparing apples to Warder loot. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Nearly 3000% over-representation in all positions of power and influence. If they were "white" this would mean that there would literally be no one but non-jewish white men in every position of power within the US.

By your own definitions: this is "privilege".

At prestigious academic institutions Jewish students represent nearly 65% of all Jews seeking higher education within the US while African Americans, Latino, Asians, and White Americans constitute the remaining 45% of the student body combined by representing over 95% of the US population
